The Heart of Mankind

Jesus said, “Are you also still lacking in understanding? Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?

These are the things that defile the person; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the person.” (Matthew 15:16-20 NASB)
